Note:
The 2009 Amsterdam Architecture pavilion is a low-tech utopian gaze in the future of Amsterdam urban environments, envisioned by DUS: Referring to history (the known Dutch tradition of ‘food from the wall’) and future (interactive façade-making), the influence of Islamic ‘jali’ ornamentation and the ideals of Modernism and Grand Master planning. In practice, by building a Berlin-style self-sufficient ‘Weinerei’ DUS wants to test if it is possible to facilitate the informal and temporal in Amsterdam. Let’s have a drink and exchange thoughts!
Previously on view in the Amsterdam Biennale:

From October 17 2009 to January 3 2010 at the Amsterdam Biennale 2009 at Mediamatic.
Traditionally, the architecture pavilion has been a typology of architecture in its purest form, intended for sheer pleasure.
